video of the week no. 2 | animal collective “peacebone”

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxvGHQHiY70[/youtube]
Visually gorgeous yet completely fucked-up, we’re all about this new video from Baltimore-based Animal Collective, ever since we learned that CU-friend and actor/singer/songwriter — Sarah Nischwitz — is featured throughout.
Nice grille, girl. Gotta give it up for the redheads before they all go extinct.
Animal Collective’s new album — Strawberry Jam — drops September 10th, [...]

The boys from Bristol — Massive Attack — returned to NYC for the first time in nine years this week, playing three not-so-sold-out shows at the Roseland.
I was pretty stoked to see these guys live, having cut my trip-hop teeth on their early albums Protection and Mezzanine. And I was especially interested [...]

United 93

First, a warning: Do not see United 93 unless you want to be reduced to a crying, slobbering, emotional mess.
Otherwise, go because it’s fucking amazing.
Only two other movies have reduced me to honest-to-god free-flowing tears, the kind where you have no control over yourself: Schindler’s List and Dancer In The Dark, and those [...]

The Art of Shooting [mp3]
“These dynamic tuned, jerky rhythmed, acerbic tongued, goth tinged, two girl/one boy Brooklyn art punks might’ve fit right in on Rough Trade in 1980, or opening for Siouxsie a few years later.”
[The Village Voice]

Old school? Meet old school.

If partying like it’s 1989 with Madonna at MisShapes every Saturday night just isn’t enough ironic-retro-chic for you anymore, checkout this set of 80s hits, covered and synthesized with the audio chip from the original 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System. Tres geek, but in that “geeks are the new cool-kids” way. Or so I’m [...]

Delaware? I’d have done the same thing myself…

Really.
Even for Delaware.

“An Elevated Plaza Finally Worth Going Up to See”

Anyone want to see what I’ve been doing for the last 3 years of my life? Then go check out today’s New York Times article from the front page of the Metro section (cough, above the fold).
You can even see my tiny little head way back in the photo. Sweet.
The re-dedication ceremony and [...]
